McENERY AND THE DEBT
AMENDMENT
Minden Democrat-Trihune,


The Monroe Bulletin takes issue with
US for making statement that McEn-
ery was responsible for carrying the
speech in Minden, claimed for his adj
ministration the credit ~ of the bonds
rising in value, which was brought
about by the debt amendment at a cost
to the State of 100000 annually. The
Bulletin thinks we do NicF oils and
McEnery both an injury by bringing
this subject up, IA Nichols. it says,
signed petition to the Legislature to
submit the amendment. We had heard
before that Nichols did this; but at the
same time there is vast difference be-
tween private citizen favoring the
submission Of question to the peo-
pie for their decision. and an admins
tration forcing an amendment through
by fraud. as the Bulletin cannot deny,
unless it claims there was a fair eler-
ton in Tpnsas. We have u vague
recollection of the history OF th's
| amendment. 1t is well known that the
greater part of our State debt was
fraud born of Radical iniqnity. There

F1RE.-On Wednesday morning at
an early hour, the large frame building
used as a corn house and stable on the
plantation of Hon. W. A. Robertson,
near town was discovered to be on fire,
and with its contents was entirely con
sumed. His fine Kingsland stallion
I" Pat was in the building and was
lost. The stock of corn, between 4oU]
aud 5000 barrels, was also consumed ID
fine flames. The loss is estimated at
$4,000, on which there was no insurance.
Tie deed was undoubtedly the work
of an incendiary, as the building vas
cleared and locked early the previous
evening, and no one had access to it.
A reward of $3.50 is offered for such
information as will lead to the detec-
ton and conviction of the miscreant
who committed the dastardly deed

-On Sunday night, 18th inst, a party
OF masked men on horseback, shot into
the store of Messrs. Kahn at Ever
green, and that of Mr.. Bauer at Cotton
port, in Avoyelles parish, making holes
through the buildings. showcases and
merchandise, bnt fortunately not hurt
ing any of the sleeping inmates ;
anonymous notices were also left in the
vicinity that the proprietors must leave
the country by April LIST, or death
would be the penalty Of all Jews. The
perpetrators are not known. A citizens
meeting was held at Evergreen, a few
days afterwards, and the outrage de-
nounced, tho law -otficers were called
upon to apprehend and bring to justice
the guilty parties, and protection
pledged to all who make their homes
in that parish; but so far, it seems the
offenders have not been discovered.

MOUNTING ARTILLERY TOO
EARLY


We believe that Governor Nichols
has won place in the hearts of the peo-
ple of Louisiana that few others have
ever enjoyed. In Ascension, Assumption
and Latoufche, where he il best known,
he counts every man who knows him,
his personal friend. Honest, brave, broad
minded and chivaIrous. lis character Is
bound to command respect and admlra-
tinn his reputation is SO thoroughly
established and widely known thatevrn
his political enemies do not dare to- as
sail it. So, where then can be. the use o..
advantage of urging his candidacy at
this early day3 His friends have no weak
position to defend, so what is the use OF
all this heavy artillery that is brought
out and mounted SO early IN the fight?

Strange and unwelcome changes have

haired now, with a severe expression OF
countenancr. She has lately grown most
bitterly pious, and most of her talk is de-
voted to bemoauing the days W hen she
was sinful enough to appear on the stage.
She is intolerant toward young singers,
sneering at their voices and vocation
alike, and rebnkes any ono who ventures
to address her by the name of Jennie
Lind, name OF which she was more
than proud once. Frequent incidents OF
this kind are cited, one in particular that
of young Swedish soprano, who. after
being rebuked, burst into tears and left

PLANTING FOREST TREES.

Those who enter land under the tim
ber culture act, are required to plant a
certain number of acres ia trees; and
all who have homes in the prairie, need
trees for shade and for fuel. Two
methods are usually resorted to, to
have growing trees: one, to prov the
ground and plant the seed; the other.
to dig them up. in the woods and trans
plant them. Fer China and fig trees,
and others but forest trees, it is Eeces-
sary that the soil should be prepared !;
but forest trees, like walDuts, pecans
ana oaks, will grow when transplanted
in The turf, through large percentage
die. In either case, it is absolutely ne
cessary that live stock, even hogs.
should be kept away from them. The
trees therefore must be planted, or
transplanted, in an enclosure, where no
animals are admitted, or each tree
be boxed up.
But there is another, and a simpler.
cheaper and more certain way, to grow
forest trees. Prairie land, If not al
ready covered with tall grass, will soon
be so, if enclosed Sc as to be protected
freis the cattle. Ali the labor neces-
ssrv to have Il forest in a few years,
ia to take acorns walRuts and pecans,
and tue seed of any other forest trees,
and scatter them over the ground; hr
Spring rains will cause them to sproat
and grow, and scarcely ore will fail to
make tree. The grass on the ground
will be sufficient covering for the seed.
H it is desired to have them in rows,
step -drep the seed by q line of three
stakes. making two or three times as
many rows, aad dropping the seed as
many times thicker in the rows, than
are required for stand after the trees
mature-tlIey can be cut out for fuel
afte! yards. In regard to this, we
know whereof We speak, from expe-
rience: and those who have TO grow
considerable number of trees, will save
time. trouble, expense, and much dis
by adopting this method.
The only expense and labor involved,
In the fence, and securing and dEtribut-
ing the seed over the ground.
